''The Free whisky Argument"

Quoting a recent statement in the Con-
stifutiOR to the effect that the Democrats in
Georgia want the revenue laws wiped out,
he Athens Banner says:
This isa very sweeping assertion and the
remedy here proposed for reducing the re-
dundant taxes is very radical one. Have
the people who elamor for o wiping out OF
the internal revenue taxes reflected what
this really means? We hardly believe they
will be prepared to accept this reform
about which the Consultation Seems to be-
lieye the Democrats in Georgia are so daft.
Abolish the internal revenue tax and we
have practically free whisky"
With all due respect to our Athens con-
temporary, we must say that it Is discuss
ing a subject about which it seems to know
nothing. During the past ten years, how
many Legislatures of the State Of Georgia
have petitioned Congress for the repeal Of
the odiOus excise laws? Does our Athens
contemporary know anything about this?
II it does, does il propose to claim that the
representatives ofthe people desire to turn
| the State over to what it calls the free
whisky demon?" Such n judgement
would be very harsh indeed, especially
when it is considered that the laws under
which the whisky tax is collected stand in
the way Of State action. On this point,
Judge Robert G. Pitman, of Massachusetts,,
an eminent jurist, and an advocate Of total
abstinence, remarks: I'VE are
impelled to the conclusion that the Fed
eral) taxation Of the liquor traffic offers no
effective regulation OF it; that If held out
as q measure of reform it is delusive, and
stands in the way of better legislation, and
that in itself il has the double vice OF being
opposed to the better moral instincts, and
of being operative as a bride to pervert the
public conscience" These are the words
of a well-known PrOhibitiOnist, and they
state the case exactly. In Georgia the
temperance counties are pOwerless to
control distilleries licensed by the
United States Government under the
revenue laws, and the manufacture and
sale of whisky goes on uninterruptedly.
As the Banner Waterman says, 1.-THE gov
eminent now spends one hundred thousand
dollars to keep down illicit whisky-mak-
ing in Georgia alone" This is a very
vague statement; but does the government
pay anything to keep down the licensed
distillerieS? On the contrary, Is 1T moi
paid to keep them up even in countie;
where prohibition exists? This is the es'
sence of the whole matter so far as the
temperance men are concerned.

An interesting and important decision
as to the liability Of telegraph cOmpa-
MES for errors in transmission has
been decided in the Supreme Judicial
Court of Maine. A merchant in Bangor
sent a telegram to his correspondent at
Philadelphia, as follows: viii sell SO0,-
600 laths, delivered at your wharf, two
ten net cash. July shipment. Answer
quick" and the regular tariff tate was
prepaid for transmission. The message
was delivered with the word ten" omit
ted, and a reply Wa sent accepting the
offer. The error was discovered by cor
respondenee, but the purchase was insisted
upon, and the sender of the telegram sued
the company to recover his loss. The
company, for its defense, relied upon the
stipulation, in the common form used, that
it should not be held liable unless the
message was repeated at the cost of the
word, and IN the trial it did not undertake
to account for the omission of the word
from the message, The court in giving
judgment against the telegraph
company, held that: 81. The presumption
is that the mistake resulted from the fault
Of the company. We cannot consider the
possibility that it may have resulted from
causes beyond the control of the company.
In the absence Of evidence on that point we
must assume that for such an error the CON-
pany was in fault. . We think the stipu-
lation As { o non-liability for an unrepeated
message is void. Telegraph companies are
quasi public servants. They receive from
the public valuable franchises; they owe
the public care and diligence; their bust
ness intimately concerns the public; many
and various interests are practically de-
pendent upon it; nearly all interests may
be affected by it, and this negligence in it
may often work i~rreparable mischief to in
diyiduals and communities. 1t is essential

IN the talk that prevails in some quar-
tiers about electing q man of brains TO the
Presidency, the mistake is too often made
of confOunding q man of brilliancy with q
man Of brains. -BOstOn Herald.
Precisely. Take the brilliant Mr..
BLAINE as an instance of the ~eonfounding
of brilliancy with brains. Nobody denies
Mr.. BLAINE's brilliancy, but he is not the
''brainiest" American by a long way.
Mr.. BLAINE made a mess Of both home
and foreign politics in the short time dur
ing which he controlled the GARFIELD
administration. The ''brainy" Mr..
BLAINE who never fought q battle except
in a caucus had three or four home and for
eign wars prepared in the brief time he
held the only executive Office he ever
filed. He made the administration of
poor GARFIELD the hope and idol of every
speculatOr and contractor in the land. He
disOrganized his WI party at home and
by his unasked and un-American inter
meddling made our flag Odious in Mexico,
Chilli and Peru.
No, indeed. Mr.. BLAINE may be bril-
liant, even the most brilliant, but he is
not the brsinieSt nor among the brainiest
Brilhancy and brains, in fact, are seldom
united.
